A lot of functions are "Deprecated", in the spec, but in retrospect it
is the "deprecation" that is shortsighted. REQUIRE is in the CommonLisp
spec, but ASDF and QUICKLISP instruments are from Satan to take control
of your code through the middleware layers. The dependency conspiracy
is carefully thought out, but by the time you figure it out, you will be
buried and forgotten; while Papp & Co. will be around using advertising
and marketing machinery, [mis]leading a new generation of users that are
ready and willing to suffer for the first time. ---Madhu
